NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Tennessee House Majority Leader William Lamberth has proposed a law that would create life-long orders of protection.
The idea is to prevent victims from being revictimized, like Nikki Goeser.
Goeser had been married for just over 16 months when her husband Ben Goeser was murdered in Brentwood in 2009.
The killer was Hank Wise. Attorneys said he was obsessed with Nikki Goeser.
“Ben was shot seven times in the middle of a busy restaurant in front of 50 witnesses and security cameras,” Nikki Goeser told News4 in 2020.

Yep. It’s a proven fact that a piece of paper will stop someone from repeat attacks.
Good idea. Makes sense, particularly requiring jail time each time the order is violated
Methinks Nikki would have been better served by a loaded .38 and not a piece of paper....
Pieces of paper have been proven by gun ranges across America, to not stop any projectile design fired from handgun, rifle or shotgun, of any ignition method.
I thought that Democrats already had that, automatically, from birth.
One would think either the prison or the postal system could prevent this from happening. When online, you can Block somebody from making direct contact. It should be just as easy with physical mail, especially after a bloody murder has been committed. The Surviving victim should not have to hire a lawyer to make this happen.
Although, the Mythbusters found that phone books lining the doors of your car will stop most things shy of a .50 BMG...
There was a time when inmates were restricted on who they could write to, and receive mail from, and who they could call. If they'd just execute these bastards, without giving them a millennia to appeal their death sentence, this type of crap wouldn't happen. You can write all the laws you want, but how is that going to stop someone behind bars who hasn't got anything to lose by violating those laws? If he's doing life, it's no big deal. The problem is that inmates will get their mail out one way or the other. They will get another inmate to send their letters to the people they aren't supposed to be contacting. Inmates aren't supposed to correspond with inmates in other prisons without the approval of the Superintendent, but they do it, by sending their letters to someone on the outside, who then resends the letter to the inmate using their own address. They'll even get naive prison employees to do their dirty work for them. There are plenty of ways to circumnavigate the prison mail system. A new law isn't going to stop it.

Does the permanent restraining order include a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for killing him if he get within range? It would be helpful.
As with “exclusion zones” for pedophiles, a method I don’t think has been tried yet are “area injunctions”. In this case over a very large area.
For example, if the victim lives in the middle of a large county, the offender might be excluded from entering or being in the county itself. If near the edge, several counties might be stipulated. Alternatively, an entire major municipal area, which could amount to a hundred or more square miles.
At the same time, since such orders are state level, they could not generally be forced to leave the state, except for perhaps special circumstances.
Personally a gun for self protection is best, except for stalkers who could use ambush as a means.
Yes, a piece of paper will stop bullets. Proven fact.
if they do it
female often get a pussy pass on violating court orders and stalking
I’d just like to know why someone who committed cold-blooded murder in public and has been stalking his victim’s wife from prison is going to be released after only 12 years ...
She had a .38 but she was in a gun-free zone, mandated by state law and left her gun locked in her vehicle that night as a law-abiding citizen. www.stalkedanddefenseless.com
It is indeed only a piece of paper, but this lady carries a gun and if the offender comes near her upon his release, a life-long order of protection on record would be a pretty solid defense should she have to defend herself from him.
The offender is Hank Wise. His early release date is Oct 21, 2028. He has been allowed to earn early release credits for “good behavior.”
